Bustle in the Bushes

(4) K-3 Illustrated by David Wojtowycz. Insects and other creepy outdoor creatures introduce themselves with only the simplest facts. Though jovial and lighthearted, the poems may come off as patronizing in their eagerness to show that bugs are worth befriending. The rhyme and meter are mostly effective, but not-quite-rhyming pairs (e.g., rotten/bottom) do occur. Invitingly bright illustrations are this collection's winning feature.
